Course Summary

Clients who discover the benefits of an ear candle treatment will continue to keep coming back, bringing you a core of loyal, returning customers. The candles work using the process of convection. The burning of the candle helps to draw softer waxes and toxins from the ear. Some of these are then oxidised or turned into vapours and burnt. The warm air from the burning candle passes into the ear canal before being gently drawn back up to the top of the candle in a chimney effect. The warm air containing the herbal extract vapours from the candle helps to soothe and invigorate the ear.

The GTi Ear Candles course covers how to give a full ear candle treatment and covers the history, technique and aftercare of the treatment.

The course also covers reception and consultation, and contra-indications to treatment. It also includes detailed technique modules which show you how to carry out an ear candle treatment.

The course is beautifully written and accompanied by images, diagrams and a voice-over to give you the best possible learning experience.

The course is fully accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapists, the UK's leading professional beauty trade body, for membership and insurance purposes. Upon completion of the course, students will receive a full-colour certificate for a GTi Award in Ear Candles.

Once you have booked your training course and paid the enrolment and theory fee of £25, you will be able to complete the theory modules for the course right away. Once you have completed the theory modules, a practical session code will be displayed on the final module which you can pass on to your chosen training school. When you have successfully completed your practical training, your tutor will pass you and a GTi Certificate will be available for you to download or purchase on your portal.
